Then in that case we'll still have the title of 'Most volumes translated'.

The only reason Haruhi was taken down was because she was Licensed.

==Story==

===Part 1===

“Kamijou.”

This was a time when autumn's changing to winter.

It was during a slightly more harmonious lunch break.

“I'm looking for Kamijou Touma.”

At the entrance of the classroom, there was a 'sempai' who really didn't look like one, peeping in from the front door. She had shoulder-length black hair, and her fringe is tied back. She's tall, busty, and was a beauty. The long-skirt of her sailor uniform looks like it had strong defenses. One could see her bellybutton in the gap between her blouse and skirt. She definitely looked smart, and was definitely athletic. Also, it seems like she didn't need to worry about money, only needing red tea to go along with cake. Though she's an adolescent, she could taste the difference between brandys, and even if she drove around in a red sports car, she won't look out of place. Of course, the latter descriptions were just an impression others would get when they look at all.

She's Kumokawa Seria.

Almost everyone in the school finds her to be a 'beauty sempai', and there's evening a feeling that if they 'remove a layer of the exterior, they will find a smart robot'. Seeing that they can't get on with such a person, the students would just randomly say 'what?' 'beauty, she can fire beauty lasers' 'here we go again, she's looking for Kamijou'. They only know Kamijou's name.

There's still a group of students in the classroom who can ignore the beauty's presence. But the fact that the 'beauty sempai' is looking for that person has spread throughout the entire classroom.

"...Hm, seems like he's not around. Is he resting today?"

Kumokawa twitches her eyebrows as she 'can't find that person'.

Seems like she's somewhat unhappy.

Then, while looking like she's searching for a new toy.

"Oh well, let's ask someone else. Hm, who should I look for...that person with black hair, huge forehead and large breasts, the one imitating me."

"YOU'RE TOO NOISY, IDIOT!!!"

Kumokawa was looking for the one called the most anticipated freshman star, Fukiyose Seiri.

There's now a commotion of 'Ohh, she's looking for Fukiyose'.

On a side note, as for which part she's most anticipated for, it's most probably the part below the collarbone, the B of the BWH.

Fukiyose unhappily starts seething as she leaves her seat and quickly gets to Kumokawa.

"I had my hairstyle since 5 years old. Please stop making judgements based on your own standard!!"

"That's a coincidence, I had that hairstyle since 5 years old."

"ISN'T THAT AT THE SAME TIME?"

"But well, I'm your sempair. You're later than me by one year."

Uuu...Fukiyose hums unhappily as she closes in on Kumokawa and stares at her. Kumokawa finds it interesting as well, and plays along with Fukiyose by pushing her forehead around.

...With that, the most outstanding parts on their bodies that was obvious since kindergarten are pressing against each other, and those are the B parts underneath the collarbone. But it seems like they don't have time to notice this predicament.

Because of this, in a corner of the room, Aogami Pierce and Tsuchimikado Motoharu are lecherously staring at them and says,

"Heeh~~though this country has recession or tariffs or whatsoever, isn't that still ample..."

"And it's the place where it should be ample."

Beside them, dark lines start to appear heinously on the similar black haired Himegami Aisa (who's not large-breasted).

Fukiyose pushes her forehead over and says,

"Well, will the experienced sempair please tell us why you're here at this brats' clas?"

"Well, that's because...of this!"

Saying it quikcly, Kumokawa quickly pulls our the white envelop like it's a key card and brushes it between their faces. Feeling the heat of the friction, Fukiyose shouts,

"HOT HOT...!?"

"Hm~seems like you still need training."

For some reason, Kumokawa's forehead is shining as she smiles casually. She then keeps her smile and passes the white envelop in her fingers to Fukiyose.

What's passed to her is,

"...Ah?"

"It's just a letter, what's so surprising about it?"

One can tell what that is, but just right at the tip of Fukiyose's nose, there's a cute lucky item that's sealed with a heart-shaped sticker. ''Is 'that' thing inside?''.

The female Kumokawa is passing a love letter to me, a woman? For a moment, Fukiyose was stunned, and then she recalls, Kumokawa was here to look for 'that person'.

In other words--


"It's a love letter. Seems like he's not around, so pass it to him for me."

For a moment,

Fukiyose Seiri's mind went blank.

The large-breasted sempai smiles at the large-breasted kouhai who hasn't recovered, and says,

"Oh, please let me state this, it's a violation if you read the secret contents inside. I advise you not to do anything silly and help me pass that to him."

"Ah..."

"LOVE!?"

"LOVE LETTER!?"

"AH? TO KAMIJOU!? NOT TO ME!?"

Everyone in the classroom start to cause a ruckus.

Facing the stunned Fukiyose, Kumokawa seemingly whispers to her,

"...Ah? Why do you look like you got a shock? Is there a reason why you can't pass that letter?"

"No-"

"If there's no problems, I'll leave it to you then. This is just like passing a note to a kid who's resting at home due to flu. Even elementary school kids can do that, isn't tha simple?"

Then, Kumokawa casually waves her hand and says goodby, and the beauty sempair leaves the classroom.

As for the stunned Fukiyose, she's holding the love letter she doesn't know how to deal with. And then, after taking in all her unhappiness, she explodes,

"WHAT---!?"

<big>SOMETHING BIG HAPPENED!!</big>

<big>SOMETHING BIG HAPPENED!!</big>

I thought it was only a coincidence that Fukiyose and Kumokawa looked the same, physically, but it seems the author was setting up for this encounter

But hey, maybe she really is a robot from the future sent back in time to protect Kamijou

(Poor Himegami)

SOMETHING BIG HAPPENED!!

All that remains are the SS, with the exception of the Love Letter Battle, I'm not too interested in them.

Bet was with Suzuku, finished with 4 months to spare.

Only real reason why I'm so hesitant on working more on this series is because I don't want Js06 to be jobless here That was the main reason why I took it easy on the first 6 volumes. It was only until the time I saw the 'unlimited js06 works' that I kind of when trans-am...

Didn't know you watched Gundam.

[Hell_ping]

Yeah, I actually wanted to recommend Baka-tsuki to translate Unicorn lolz.

You have no idea how much I would love for that to happen.

[Master Assassin]

... Oh boy.

The Love Letter SS.

Atta-go.

[Breidaluk]

Was reading the novels, searching hints in the previous vols and found something curious in vol 18 chapter 5, part 5, during the battle knight leader X Acqua, just in the end, when acqua was ready to use the powers of ascalon:

“I had hoped I wouldn’t have to use this.”

“That isn’t like you. Were you holding back against one who the dragon symbolizes?”

Knight Leader smiled and gripped Hrunting’s hilt.

In the values of the Christian Church, the dragon was the symbol of more than one thing.

For example, it represented pagans and foreign invading forces.

It also represented a fallen angel stained with evil.

[Ashaman]

The more I read of LAC, the more hesitent I become about it getting adapted into the Railgun anime.

If it did, it would quite possibly the most fanservicey arc ever, as 80% of the cast spend the entire thing in swimsuits.

Anime-wise, there would be at least 3 episodes with not a stitch of actual clothing in sight.

Fanservice is well and good an all, but I think that that level would damage Railguns reputation.

People on this forum all ready complain of it being a moe-blob anime. 3 episodes stight in swim-suits? Any cred as a serious series would go down the drain, no matter how much plot there is.

People on this forum all ready complain of it being a moe-blob anime. 3 episodes stight in swim-suits? Any cred as a serious series would go down the drain, no matter how much plot there is.

I'm hesitant about a Railgun Anime at all; I'm still of the opinion that The Sisters Arc should be a movie, otherwise just make it 12 episodes- That way people won't complaint about the fillers.

And lets face it, the Railgun manga is ridiculously slow compared to Index Light Novel, 10-12 chapters per year? that's not going to be enough, while as Index has been successfully producing 3 books per year, which is pretty much 1 cour right there.

In any case, with the fanservice in IndexII, I say we're just about even.

I find this epilogue title for Volume 2 kinda funny
Deep Blood of Corruption. Devil_or_God.

Spoiler for part 2:

That's a love letter.

"KAMIJOU..." "KAMIJOU THAT BASTARD...!" "HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE HIM BREAK UP WITH THAT BEAUTY!?" Chaos strikes the class that descended into a ruckus, and Fukiyose focuses on the letter in her hand.

Fukiyose wonders, ''there's a sender and a receiver. I see, in terms of impact, if one use such an old-fashioned method like paper, the person may gain a huge advantage.''

Giving a bad example, it's like a transaction scam. Before the message is sent back, the receiver may have time to calmly think through to analyse and verify it. In contrast, the sender who wrote the letter directly will have the confidence that 'he will definitely not get rejected', and thus can forcefully let the other person accept it.

Even if the worst scenario occurs, words on a letter are still the best.

The 'sending' of the letter will show the intention of the sender. Also, the sender can force the receiver to respond before opening the letter.

And especially to the people who aren't used to having love letters, once such a scenario occurs, the receiver will waver. Before the sender calms down, the other party may ask for an immediate reply. The moment the receiver calms down, even if he or she doesn't know what happened, everything's decided. Isn't that a skill in itself?

(No no no, is it because a sempai sent the letter that I'm so spaced out?)

"Is this the letter just now?"

The classmate, Himegami Aisa, stares intently at Fukiyose.

Fukiyose fans the letter and says,

"I just got tasked with something really irritating. The boys' dorm is in a completely different direction from how we go to school."

"Now that you mentioned it, you're right."

"The boys dorm and girls dorm were deliberately separated, and now I have to go to the boys dorm. This just sounds like a penalty game. I'm going to be in grave danger."

"Oh...? I once accidentally went there..."

Facing Himegami, who said that, Fukiyose turns to focus on the letter again.

''How irritating. I don't want to be someone's messenger's, let alone that woman's. If I want to be her runner, I should at least check her character first. Got to let others do this. So what should I do?''

"Oh, I got a great idea."
